2024 BMW X7 Driver Assist & ADAS Problems

Car presents the forward collision mitigation and lane departure warning are inoperable. Errors popped up 10-20 times while driving a short distance. These are repeat errors that BMW has not fixed. As i drove the car kept alerting me that the systems were offline. They would come back online and go back offline as i drove. Car has been to dealership around 8-9 times and BMW says there is adamant that nothing is wrong with the car even though this error has been happening since I have had the car at around 1000 miles. Currently at ~13k miles now.

Multiple times when my 2024 X7 has started or I have been driving a warning message pops up that states that Forward Collision Mitigation or other safety systems are "reduced". BMW has stated there is nothing to fix on the car.

I am writing to report a distressing incident involving my BMW X7's parking assistance system, which occurred on November 1, 2023. I believe this incident raises significant safety and consumer protection concerns and am seeking your assistance in addressing this issue with BMW of North America. On the mentioned date, while using the parking assistance feature to exit my garage, the system collided with another vehicle sliently without any prior warning while I was paying full attention to the parking view which shows the rear reality view as well as surround view to prepare to stop the parking assistant anytime. To make matters worse, it failed to stop automatically and appeared to accelerate, causing considerable damage to my BMW X7's front bumper and the rear bumper of the other vehicle. The concern arises from BMW's extensive advertising that touts the safety and reliability of its parking assistance technology is putting safety of both driver and others AT RISK. I used it with my baby onboard and the colission can risk my baby's health. BMW advertises the parking assistance can be used while driver is not in the car, the risk of collision can possibly lead to a hit into the driver or anyone pass-by. BMW declined to take any responsibility for the incident after I reported and seek compensation for the approximately $2,500 in damages caused by fraud parking assitant. Regrettably, I believe it is crucial for BMW to address this issue to avoid risking of collission by parking assistant, and provide reasonable compensation. For the 5 questions, here are more concrete summary: * The parking assistant system, as well as the sensor to detect the distance from front left bumper, seem to be not working well * Since the parking system cannot detect another car, it may hit a kid next time without any warnings nor any signs on the parking view * Not reproduced yet * Inspected by BMW dealer and BMW NA claims it's all working correctly * No prior warnings

I purchased a 2024 BMW X7 xDrive40i VIN: xxxxx on May 1, 2023. I am pleased with the vehicle except for a serious flaw that in addition to compromising convenience creates a potential safety hazard. The problem resides in the Driving Assistant Professional Package which deviates from the somewhat industry standard practice of allowing the driver to select a mode where the vehicle reads speed signs and/or refers to a location speed limit map. If the option is chosen, software can select the posted speed with a driver programmed offset. As an example, if the vehicle enters a 55 mph zone from a different posted speed with a driver programmed offset of -5 mph, the vehicle will automatically begin traveling at 50 mph. During my vehicle selection process, I drove an early 2023 X7 at a dealer that operated as described above. The 2024 X7 I purchased does not follow the above functionality and if the speed limit changes the driver must push a Set Switch to enable the new posted speed. As an example, if the speed limit changes from 55 mph with a driver programmed +5 mph offset, to 40 mph the vehicle will continue to travel at 60 mph in the 40 mph zone until the driver pushes the "Set" button. If the driver missed the 40 mph sign, a safety hazard could ensue as well as a speeding ticket. Virtually all other manufacturers that offer a similar option allow a mode where a new posted speed limit is adopted automatically without the need to push a switch thereby eliminating the above hazard. I would appreciate an assessment and critique of my above concerns along with any corrective action(s) deemed appropriate. Thank you for your consideration of this matter and please let me know your conclusions. I have contacted BMW several times and no explanations or the opportunity to discuss the concern has been allowed. I can provide the many emails I have sent to BMW if desired.
